IMPORTANT INFORMATION
In this Owner’s Manual, you will find the
text under the heading “WARNING” and
“NOTE” which highlights important infor-
mation. Pay particular attention to these
highlighted messages.
Safe Driving
Safety consciousness not only ensures
your safety and the safety of other road
users, but it also helps to reduce the wear
and tear on your vehicle.
Safe driving depends on:
How quickly you make decisions to•
avoid an accident.
Your ability to concentrate.•
How well you can see and judge ob-•
jects.
How well familiar you are with your ve-•
hicle controls and its capabilities.
test•
Safety Tips
Always take into account the road con-•
ditions, weather conditions, vehicle
speed in order to prevent accidents.
Turn ‘ON’ the side indicators at least•
30 meters before taking a turn or
changing the lane.
Decelerate to a safe speed before tak-•
ing turn. Do not apply brakes during
cornering.
When overtaking other vehicles, watch•
out for the oncoming vehicle.
Never drive under the influence of al-•
cohol or drugs.
If your vehicle is equipped with info-•
tainment/navigation system, set and
make changes to your travel route only
when the vehicle is parked.
Program radio presets with the vehicle•
parked, and use your programmed
presets to make radio use quicker and
simpler.
NOTE
Indicates additional information that will
assist you in gaining the optimum ben-
efit and care for your vehicle.
WARNING
Indicates procedures or information that
must be followed precisely in order to
avoid the possibility of severe personal
injury and serious damage to the vehi-
cle.
NOTE
Fatigue is a result of physical or mental
exertion that impairs judgment. Driver
fatigue may be due to inadequate
sleep, extended work hours, strenuous
work or non-work activities or combina-
tion of other factors. Take rest at regular
intervals.
SAFETY

Driving Through Water
Do not drive through flooded areas. Judge
the depth of water before driving through
it. Otherwise, water may enter the vehicle
interior or the engine compartment. If at all
the situation demands that you have to
drive through water then;
Keep engine in higher RPM and crawl•
the vehicle in low gear.
Flowing or rushing water creates•
strong forces. Driving through flowing
water could cause the vehicle to about
trying to drive through flowing water.
Lightly apply the brake pedal to dry the•
liners until the brakes work normally
once you are out of water.
Driving on a Rainy Day
Check wiper blades, lights and brakes•
for proper functioning and condition.
Check the tyre treads depth, the con-•
dition of the tread and tyre.
Avoid harsh braking and sharp turns. It•
may cause loss of control and lead to
a skid.
For slowing down, shift to lower gears•
and brake gently.
Keep lights ‘ON’ if visibility is poor.•
Driving on Wet Roads
On wet road or during light showers,
“Aquaplaning” can occur. “Aquaplaning” is
the loss of direct contact between the road
surface and the vehicle’s tires due to a
water film forming between them. Steering
or braking the vehicle can be very difficult,
and loss of control can occur. There is no
hard and fast rule about aquaplaning. The
best advice is to slow down when the road
is wet.
Night Driving
Ensure that all lights are working and•
windshield, window glasses are clean.
Drive more slowly at night than in the•
daytime, as the visual range is re-
stricted at night. Maintain a speed such
that you can stop within illuminated
distance of head lamps.
Do not use the high beam unless in-•
evitable. It may dazzle the driver of the
oncoming vehicle, thus causing an ac-
cident.
Use head lamp main/dip beam to alert•
other road users on turns/ cross roads.
Use side indicators for lane change or•
turning.
WARNING
Do not attempt to start the engine if ve-
hicle gets flooded due to water. Tow the
vehicle to a safe place. Contact a near-
est TATA MOTORS Authorised Service
Centre
NOTE
If you have driven for a long time in
heavy rain without braking, there may
be a delayed reaction from the brakes
when braking for the first time. You have
to press the brake pedal more firmly.
Maintain a greater distance from the ve-
hicle in front.
SAFETY

Driving on Gradients
When climbing gradient, the vehicle may
begin to slow down and show a lack of
power. If this happens, shift to a lower gear
and apply power smoothly so that there is
no loss of traction. When driving down a
hill, the engine braking should be used by
shifting into a lower gear. Do not drive in
neutral gear or switch off the engine.
Driving on Highway
Stopping distance progressively, in-
creases with vehicle speed. Maintain a
sufficient distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle ahead.
For long distance driving, perform safety
checks before starting a trip and take rest
at certain intervals to prevent fatigue.
WARNING
On long and steep gradients you must
reduce the load on the brakes by shift-
ing early to a lower gear. This allows
you to take advantage of the engine
braking effect and helps avoid over-
heating of service brakes resulting in re-
duced braking efficiency.
SAFETY

SEAT BELTS
This section of user manual describes
your vehicle’s seat belt, airbag and Child
restraints system. Please read and follow
all these instructions carefully to minimise
risk of severe injury or death.
Seat belts are the primary restraints•
system in the vehicle. All occupants,
including the driver, should always
wear their seat belts to minimize the
risk of injury.
Sit back and adjust the front seat.•
Make sure that your seat is adjusted to
a good driving position and the back of
the seat is upright.
Buckling the Shoulder Seat Belt
Grasp the tongue then slowly pull out•
the seat belt over the shoulder and
across the chest. When the seat belt is
long enough to fit, insert the tongue
into the lock buckle until you hear a
“CLICK” which indicates that the seat
belt is securely locked.
Position the lap portion of seat belt•
across your pelvic bone, below your
abdomen. To remove slack, pull up a
bit on the shoulder seat belt. To loosen
the lap portion seat belt if it is too tight,
tilt the tongue and pull on the lap seat
belt. A snug seat belt reduces the risk
of sliding under the seat belt in a colli-
sion. Ensure that the seat belt running
over the body (shoulder segment and
lap segment) does not have any twist.
Twisted seat belt may not offer effec-
tive protection when required.
Releasing the Seat Belt
To release the seat belt, push the red but-
ton on the lock buckle. The seat belt will
automatically retract to its stowed position.
If necessary, slide the tongue down the
webbing to allow the seat belt to retract
fully.
NOTE
The above image is for reference pur-
pose only.
SAFETY

Fixed Rear Centre Lap Seat Belt
When buckling, make sure you hear a
click confirming that the tab is latched into
the seat belt lock. To tighten it, pull the
loose end through the buckle until the seat
belt is comfortably adjusted around the
hips.
Seat Belts with Pre-tensioner (if
equipped)
You can use the pre-tensioner seat belts
in the same manner as ordinary seat belts.
The seat belt pre-tensioner system works
in conjunction with the SUPPLEMENTARY
RESTRAINTS SYSTEM (SRS-Airbags).
In the event of a collision, as may be nec-
essary, pre-tensioner tightens the seat belt
so that it fits the occupant’s body more
snugly. When pre-tensioner activates,
there could be some noise and release of
smoke. This is normal and there are no
health hazards or fire risk.
If the vehicle has been involved in a colli-
sion, get it inspected immediately at au-
thorized TATA MOTORS SERVICE
Center.
Seat Belts With Load Limiter (if
equipped)
You can use the load limiter seat belts in
the same manner as ordinary seat belts.
The seat belt load limiter system works in
conjunction with the SUPPLEMENTARY
RESTRAINTS SYSTEM (SRS-Airbags).
WARNING
Each seating position and seat belt•
assembly must only be used by one
occupant. It is not recommended to
put a seat belt around a child, being
carried on an occupant’s lap.
Be careful not to damage or tamper•
the seat belt webbing or hardware.
Inspect the seat belt system period-
ically, checking for cuts, frays, or
loose parts. A frayed or torn seat
belt could rip apart in a collision and
leave you with no protection.
If the seat belt webbing or hardware•
is damaged, get it replaced immedi-
ately at TATA Motors Authorized
service centre.
Do not insert any items such as•
coins, clips, etc. into the seat belt
buckles, and be careful not to spill
liquids into these parts. If foreign
materials get into a seat belt buckle,
the seat belt will not work properly.
Do not wear seat belts over hard,•
sharp or fragile items in clothing,
such as pens, keys, spectacles etc.
Do not use any accessories on seat•
belts or modify in any way the seat
belt system. Devices claiming to im-
prove occupant comfort or reposi-
tion the seat belt can reduce the
protection provided by the seat belt
and increase the chance of serious
injury in a collision.
WARNING
In a collision, the pre-tensioner seat belt
assembly mechanisms becomes hot
during activation. Do not touch the pre-
tensioner seat belt assemblies for sev-
eral minutes after they have been
activated.
SAFETY

In the event of a collision, as may be nec-
essary, load limiter reduces the load on the
rib cage region of the occupant. If the ve-
hicle has been involved in a collision, get
it inspected immediately at Authorised
TATA MOTORS SERVICE Center.
Use of Seat Belts for Pregnant
Woman
Seat Belt Warning Lamp
For Driver For Front seat
passenger
The seat belt warning lamp reminds you to
fasten the seat belt.
If the driver does not fasten seat belt,•
seat belt reminder lamp will blink and
a buzzer will sound for predefined du-
ration until the driver seat belt is buck-
led.
If front passenger seat is occupied by•
adult and does not fasten seat belt,
seat belt reminder lamp will blink and
a buzzer will sound for predefined du-
ration until the front passenger seat
belt is buckled.
If this system is also provided for other•
than Front row seats, applicable above
warning will appear until seat belts are
buckled.
If front passenger seat is occupied by•
child, system may detect occupancy
and warn with front passenger seat
belt warning. It is not taken to mean
child can occupy front passenger seat
and use seat belt. Please refer CRS
section for recommended seating po-
sition.
WARNING
Pregnant woman must wear a cor-•
rectly positioned seat belt. It is safer
for mother as well as unborn child.
Pregnant woman should wear the•
lap part of the seat belt across the
Pelvic Bone and as snug across the
hips as possible. Keep the seat belt
low so that it does not come across
the abdomen. That way the strong
bones of the hips will take the force
if there is a collision.
NOTE
Using unauthorized after-market seat
cover may affect function of occupant
sensor. TATA MOTORS does not rec-
ommended any non-validated seat
cover on seats.
SAFETY

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM (CRS)
TATA MOTORS strongly recommends the
use of Child Restraint Systems (CRS) for
all children up to age of 12 years and to be
placed at recommended positions only.
Children travelling without recommended
CRS and seated at other positions may
face serious injuries in case of a collision.
CRS can be installed in the vehicle using
seat belts and/or ISOFIX only (if equipped)
or ISOFIX with Top Tether (if equipped) or
ISOFIX with support leg.
If the child seat is equipped with support
leg(s), always fit the support leg(s) directly
to the floor. Never fit support leg(s) to a
footrest or on any other object.
The harness system of CRS holds the
child in place, and in a collision, acts to
keep the child positioned in the seat and
reduce the risk of injuries.
All children below age of two years must
always ride in a rear-facing infant CRS.
Keep children in a forward-facing CRS
with a harness until they reach the size or
weight limit allowed by your CRS manu-
facturer.
Once your child outgrows the forward-fac-
ing CRS, your child is ready for a booster
seat.
Selection and Installation of CRS
Always select the CRS that complies with
latest safety standards (AIS072 / ECE
R44). The CRS are classified according to
the child’s size, height and weight. Select
the appropriate CRS for your child. Ensure
that the CRS is securely installed in the
vehicle and subsequently child fits prop-
erly in it and wears harness of CRS. For
installation, please refer CRS manufac-
turer’s instruction manual.

If you install a CRS in the rear seat, slide
the front seat far enough forward so that
the child’s feet do not touch the front seat-
back. This will help avoid injury to the child
in the event of a collision.
After a collision, we recommend to get
seat belts, seats, ISOFIX and top-tether
anchorages (as may be applicable) inves-
tigated at TATA MOTORS Authorised serv-
ice centre.
WARNING
If your vehicle is equipped with a front
passenger Airbag (PAB) and does not
have PAB deactivation switch, do not in-
stall a rear-facing CRS in the front pas-
senger seat. If the PAB inflates, a child
in a rear facing CRS could be seriously
injured or killed.
NOTE
Children could be endangered in a col-
lision if their CRS is not properly se-
cured in the vehicle. Be sure to secure
the child in the restraint system accord-
ing to the manufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING
Do not use an infant carrier or a child
safety seat that “hooks“ over a seat-
back, it will not provide adequate pro-
tection in a collision.
NOTE
CRS in a closed vehicle can become
very hot. To prevent burns, check the
seating surface and buckles before
placing your child in CRS.
WARNING
Do not leave unattended children in•
your vehicle.
Do not modify CRS in any way.•
NOTE
Do not install a booster seat or a•
booster cushion with only the lap
strap of the seat belt.
Do not install a booster seat or a•
booster cushion with a seat belt that
is slack or twisted.
Do not put the safety seat belt under•
your child’s arm or behind its back.
Do not use pillows, books or towels•
to boost your child’s height.
Make sure that your children sit in•
an upright position.
Do not allow children to stand up or•
kneel on either the rear or the front
seats. An unrestrained child could
suffer serious or fatal injuries during
a collision.
Do not leave any toys or other ob-•
jects loose in the CRS or on the seat
while the vehicle is in motion.
SAFETY

Each CRS should be used for one child
only.
If the airbag SRS warning indicator in the
instrument cluster illuminates continu-
ously, it means that there is malfunction in
the system. Remove the CRS from front
passenger seat and contact your TATA
MOTORS authorised service center.

SUPPLEMENTARY RESTRAINT
SYSTEM (SRS) (AIRBAGS) (if
equipped)
The airbag ‘SRS’ system comprises of the
following components depending upon the
provided safety features in your vehicle.
Seat belt Pre-tensioners..•
Seat belt with load limiters.•
Driver Airbag.•
Front Passenger Airbag.•
Airbag ‘SRS’ ECU (Electronic Control•
Unit).
Collision Sensors.•
SRS wiring harness.•
SRS Warning lamp•
The System is active when ignition switch
is in the “ON” position or the ignition mode
is “ON”.
Airbags are designed to inflate in collisions
when required. In the event of a collision,
the collision sensors will detect signals,
and if the Airbag ECU judges that the sig-
nals represent a severe collision, will trig-
ger the airbags. The inflated Airbags
provide a cushion to the occupants. The
Airbag inflates and deflates so quickly that
you may not even realize that it has acti-
vated. The Airbag will neither hinder your
view nor make it harder to exit the vehicle.
Airbag inflation is virtually instantaneous
and occurs with considerable force, ac-
companied by loud noise and smoke,
which is normal. The inflated airbag, to-
gether with seat belts, limit the movement
of an occupant, thereby reducing the risk
of injury.
When an airbag inflates, you may see
some smoke-like particles. The particles
are a normal by-product of the process
that generates the non-toxic gas used for
airbag inflation. These airborne particles
may irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or throat.
If you have skin or eye irritation, rinse the
area with water. For nose or throat irrita-
tion, move to fresh air. Also sometimes the
smoke can cause breathing problems. In
such cases, it is recommended to get
fresh air promptly.
After inflation, airbag provides a gradual
cushioning effect for the occupant there-
after deflates. It is not advisable to drive
your vehicle after the airbags have been
deployed. If you are involved in another
collision, the airbags will not be in place to
protect you.

pose only.

Open your windows and doors as•
soon as possible after collision to re
